Please note BMDMA for MMIO is not native since there appears to be
pci-posting errors under x86.

Can you elaborate ? I had to deal with driver bugs related to
PCI wr. posting in the past. I assume you know what you are doing,
but just in case, you missed a SW bug, I may be able to help.

I'm also interested in these issues, since I plan to use BMDMA
into MMIO areas in my own driver. So maybe we should discuss this
on the list? ;-)

Also the machines/chipsets, where this happens would be nice to
know. How to detect and workaround such errors is another
challenging topic I would like to discuss.

Thanks and Regards
